Does anyone know where I might be able to find a couple of boxes of 115-120 gr non-fmj 6.8 spc ammo around the metroplex? I was invited on a unexpected hog hunting weekend next week and dont have enough ammo on hand currently.

Yup and I just looked at his website and did not wee it. I think Brother-in-law shoots the 6.8 some, he might could spare a couple boxes but who knows

I don't have the 6.8 on my site currently. I can run some ammo, but it's not a "stocking item" currently. Thanks for thinking of me, though!

I have 3 boxes of Hornady 110 gr V-MAX (Varmint Express ) #8346
If you're still looking
$20 each x 3 = $60

I'd say so, so much that the ammo is never in stock but the 6.5 grendal ammo is. I actually have no clue. I've been shooting and reloading for years for the 2 6.8's I own.

Looks like Wilson Combat has some in stock and are a sponsor to the board.

There was a time when getting Grendel ammo was tough and the 6.8 had two or three different loadings on the shelf at Academy. I reload also but occasionally it is nice to find ammo on the shelf.

I don't worry too much about Academy. I reload, but for the 6.8, I mostly pick up ammo in bulk from SG AMMO. I'm really liking the 110 S&B PTS ammo.
I have a bolt action 6.8 so I'm reloading for that because I can load out to 2.4" and push the envelope. I'm getting 2750 FPS with 110 TSX out of a 16" barrel without pressure signs.

I haven't been shopping for ammo in so long, I couldn't say what's available.
